n Forget You—arr. Paul Murtha. With a sound

modulation kicks in, and things transition to high

Arnge Drank (Orange Juice with Attitude)—Paul Baker. Wow... orange drink with an at-
titude! Texas writer Paul Baker presents an outstanding funk chart beginning with a piano riff to
set up the rhythm groove before the trumpet and altos hit with the melody. Trombones and low
saxes support with counterpoint. After the trombones take it through the bridge the saxes again
state the melody in a dramatic stop time section that moves into the trumpet and trombone solos. After a drum solo, the bari and bass trombone shine as they set the funky foundation for the
shout chorus. A return of the piano riff sets up the final melodic statement and dramatic coda.
Trumpet range to written High C. Trombone to G. Pure fun, and highly recommended!
